"Experience this cinematic gem as never before via this Special Collector's Edition DVD. Featuring a "wonderful" performance by Johnny Depp (Sleepy Hollow) and the 'show-stopping turn' that made Titanic's Leonardo DiCaprio a star, What's Eating Gilbert Grape is "pure magic" (Los Angeles Magazine). Living in Endora is like dancing to no music. Gilbert Grape (Depp) should know. Aside from a secret affair with a housewife (Mary Steenburgen), Gilbert spends his days stocking shelves at a grocery store, caring for his mentally handicapped brother (DiCaprio), and holding together a large family headed by Mama, a former beauty queen whose weight tops 500 pounds. But just when Gilbert thinks nothing will ever change, a pretty stranger (Juliette Lewis) arrives on the scene, capturing Gilbert's heart and inspiring him to make a break."--Container.
